the thing to rember is to avoid any contact with is poo (faeces).
pregnant mothers should never clean out any pet boxes where they might have pooped. this is to avoid a dangerous disease called toxoplasmosis, which can affect the eyes and brains of unborn babies, leading to problems later in life.
also the fluttering, feathers, and genral dust can cause asthma in the baby and later alergic reaction.

Don't get too close to them, there is a possibility their feces may have some harmful parasites. I would not get rid of them, but would have somebody else feed and clean their cages until the baby is born.
